[MOD] Lux Invicta

[richvh]

If you look through the thread, you'll see that Shaytana had plans to fragment things even more before his mysterious disappearance. He gave us a fascinating peep at his plans to fragment East Africa... unfortunately not detailed enough for us to implement them.

 

[richvh]

- Actually this dynamic solution looks most excellent... I would just say consider making it forbidden for christians too, for good measure, or at least for Catholics and maybe Orthodox (OK other Christian faiths could why not accept it by opposition)

I added Catholics, Orthodox and Jews of all stripes to those without access to the law. Changing the law will have positive or negative effects on your subjects, depending on gender and traits.

Sorry, but I just had to write this... XD

Shaytanism (also know as Lux Invicta faith) is a local variation of mainstream Paradoxian religion with a messianistic soul. Its believers worship the modder-creator Shaytana, who created the Light and the Timeline, before disappearing with his creation only halfway complete. While he promised to return, his believers still continue his work, cautiously trying to not to aberrate his vision with an ill-thought modification. It has a Persian ascendant, characterised by a strong dynastical feeling and good statesmen and administrators.

Comments? (Muslims do not have access to this law; Hubalis and Gurzilis have no need for it.)

To my opinion, the law looks a bit alien here. The decision is not so important after all, and the chances of someone activating it are rather low - yet it is lined up with crown authority, levies and taxation... Besides, does it mean that after a queen passes that law all women are instantly allowed to lead armies? A little straightforward as to my taste, the process of acknowledgment should be more gradual.

 

[richvh]

I could add a couple more steps, (accepted, approved) with increasingly lenient requirements for female commanders/marshals and different splits in opinion bonus/malus for law changes.

 

[Teutonic_Thrash]

I think Martial requirement of 25 is too high. Perhaps lower it to 20?

keytool asked about various Imperial lines here.

I'll have a look into these dynasties and see if I can make decent histories for them.

It's supposed to be really, really hard to pass... going the other way is easy. If you want easy female commanders, take one of the two religions that allow them. (The single province Hubalis south of Mecca, or the Berber Gurzilis in West Africa.)

I'll wait till the patch comes out, so I can have a proper look at the dynasties mentioned; where they are, who're they're neighbours, etc.

 

[Bad_Haggis]

So will this law change only be for certain religions?

 

[richvh]

It's available for all religions but muslim, catholic, orthodox, judaism_group (no female marshals for these), hubal, and gurzil (female marshals always allowed without restrictions for these latter two) unless you guys think there should be tighter restrictions. I've added 2 more steps (Allowed now permits females with martial education and 20+ martial to serve, Accepted permits females with martial education and 12+ martial to serve, Approved permits any female to serve.) Going up the scale has the same requirements for each step (very high martial brilliant strategist female monarch), going down scale has no requirements. There are opinion consequences for the law changes. Males always approve of more restrictions on female marshals/commanders and disapprove of fewer restrictions, females are more split on the matter, depending on law level and traits.

 

[wietzakje]

i think the battle system needs a little bit tweaking ! like prince and thane that would be awesome !

 

[richvh]

Not quite sure what you're talking about. Does Prince and the Thane use the duel system? We discussed the duel system earlier, and decided (when I get the time and permission to add it) that only certain cultures/religions would opt for battlefield duels, generally those on the fringes of civilization.

 

[Sleight of Hand]

Richard VanHouten, sorry to post this here (it's not relevant to this mod) but I know you like to hang out here and so I thought it expedient.

With your considerable modding prowess, would you be able to put together a basic event and/or decision to switch England to Gavelkind succession once a Norman-culture character becomes king? Specifically, this would be for Saxon England under Feudal Elective succession, so for the Saxons and Norwegians it would stay that way, but if the Normans won then they'd get an event early on (I'm not sure what the best MTTH would be; I'll leave it with you) to switch to Gavelkind.

Naturally, I am forever in your debt.

 

[richvh]

namespace = norman_gavelkind
narrative_event = {
	id = norman_gavelkind.0
	desc = "EVTDESCnorman_gavelkind.0" #I don't want these backstabbing Saxons to elect one of their own instead of my son, so I will change the inheritance laws.
	picture = GFX_evt_scandal
	
	only_rulers = yes
	
	trigger = {
		culture = norman
		primary_title = {
			title = k_england
			has_law = succ_feudal_elective
			NOT = {
				has_global_flag = norman_gavelkind_flag # Only want to do this once.
			}
		}
	}
	
	mean_time_to_happen = {
		months = 12
	}
	
	immediate = {
		set_global_flag = norman_gavelkind_flag # Make sure this doesn't happen again
	}
	
	option = {
		name = "EVTOPTAnorman_gavelkind.0" #Deus vult!
		succession = gavelkind
		hidden_tooltip = {
			any_vassal = {
				letter_event = {
					id = norman_gavelkind.1
					days = 3
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

letter_event = {
	id = norman_gavelkind.1
	desc = "EVTDESCnorman_gavelkind.1"	#The king has changed succession laws
	picture = GFX_evt_scandal
	
	option = {
		name = "EVTOPTAnorman_gavelkind.1" #The king is a fink!
		trigger = {
			culture = saxon
		}
		opinion = {
			modifier = norman_gavelkind_neg
			who = FROM
			months = 60			#Adjust duration as you see fit
		}
	}
	
	option = {
		name = "EVTOPTBnorman_gavelkind.1"	#Deus vult!
		trigger = {
			NOT = {
				culture = saxon
			}
		}
	}
}

Untested, but that ought to do it.

 

[Sleight of Hand]

Very kind of you, I'll try it.

Does the letter event fire for all Saxon vassals? I assume it's just a notifier of sorts, and has no effect?

 

[richvh]

Letter event fires for all vassals, Saxon vassals get an opinion modifier (which I'll leave to you to set), no affect on others, just a notification.

 

[Sleight of Hand]

What is the opinion modifier? I can see where I'd change the number of months it'd last for, but what would the actual decrease be?

 

[richvh]

That would depend on what you put in common/opinion_modifiers/*.txt.

Something like:

norman_gavelkind_neg = {
	modifier = -10		#Adjust malus to taste
	months = 60		#Adjust duration to taste
}

You'll also have to add norman_gavelkind_neg to localization (something like "Instituted Gavelkind"), along with the event and option localization keys.

Status report: read up all Shaytana's timeline up to 1020, will update the Roman emperors tommorow. It's a shame Shaytana did not bring his timeline up to 1066, but I'll try to make it up.

 

[Darkgamma]

but I'll try to make it up.

Do not even dare to do that.
